7/10 from me and same from our book group. A lively discussion at book club. If you like Murakami or Mitchell I’d definitely read this. So begins the first letter that falls into Wang’s lap as he flips down the visor in his taxi. The letters that follow are filled with the stories of Wang’s previous lives—from escaping a marriage to a spirit bride, to being a slave on the run from Genghis Khan, to living as a fisherman during the Opium Wars, and being a teenager on the Red Guard. We are taken back to these lives and reincarnations. Brutal and intriguing
